Vacation
minasan! Meet me again in new chap of this fict. Because I had a vacation in my country when I wrote this chapter, I want to write about summer break too, so this is the result. But please forgive me if I late to post it. After the break, I'll got my personal Hell… but I hope you enjoy it and happy reading!
The sea breeze blew gently upon the head of a certain brunette who can pity enough because his lack of vacation spots on his head.
"Such a nice breeze…" the brunette said.
Lacus looked to him and smiled. "Welcome to the Victoria Beach, Kira-sama!!" Lacus said jokingly. They arrived at the beach and enjoy some sea air a bit.
Flashback
According to their discussions earlier, they had prepared the vacation planning to the summer break. But before the summer break come, Cagalli still can't grow from her short temper until she throws a desk to Mwu-san/sensei because he woke her up in Murrue sensei's class. Murrue sensei was known Cagalli's habit if somebody woke her up without right method. Like aiming a katana or throw a shuriken to her throat. Well… Mwu can't reject her request. Kira couldn't help but just can give some proper apologies to Murrue sensei. Well… the class still with its usual condition.
"Class, as you know, tomorrow is the beginning of the summer break!" Murrue said out loud. The class became a crowded of a Hanshin's supporter once again.
"so my last word is, enjoy your time, and don't die until the next month!" Murrue sensei said in the middle of her class.
Since Kira and the others were having the plan, they'll just discuss about the place and the transportation.
"so, where we will be going? Victoria sounds good to me since I have a Villa there." Lacus said in her usual cheerful tone.
Finally Luna got excited too. One last thing that bothered her is Shinn's attitude when they go there. She could tell since he was got infected by Dearka's viruses, he have potency to become as bad/pervert/hentai/whatever you call 'em as him. "Victoria, huh…? That's great. Even I haven't got there yet, but I heard that's the most beautiful beach in Onogoro. So why not?"
Lacus smiled. Then she averted her gaze to Yzak. He just gave her his usual cold look. "Whatever" was all he said
Then the last thing is Cagalli, Athrun, and Kira. They looked towards each other and the one who answer that is of course Cagalli "I said, 'that's great!' Athrun said, 'why not?' and Kira said, 'since the one who propose it is Lacus, how can I reject that?'" Cagalli said in absolute joking tone.
Kira blushed massively in embarrassments when Cagalli said that. So do Lacus but she added some giggled after that.
"Well… it's decided then. We will go to Victoria tomorrow." Lacus said. "Anything else?" she asked when she looked to Shinn
"can I invite Alex too? It seems boring if you just bring a expressionless killer, a hentai, and two country boys. Girls excluded." Shinn asked while pointing at his blonde haired classmate
But as to be expected, he got a few death glares and cursed after he said that.
Lacus think while stared at him. "Hmm… Alex Roxas… why not? Alex!" she called out his name
Alex heard Lacus shouted his name and walked towards them. He was almost unknown by the rest of the classmates. But Shinn and Luna know he's a good friend to be with. So from few weeks ago they were getting along with Dearka and a stubborn Yzak since Dearka force him to join them too
"What's the matter?" Alex asked them
Lacus smiled at him and ask, "do you have a plan for trip in holidays?"
Alex shook his head
"Why don't you go out with us? We're going to Victoria beach. At Lacus's Villa" Shinn said.
Alex thinking of it for a while then nodded. "I guess that's a good idea. I'm in"
"Can I invite someone too? She's my friend from photograph club. Ah, there she is. Nam!" Milly said while wave her hand to a blonde haired girl. She's have a small sweet figure that make Alex blush a bit. He never knew that girl existed before. Dearka and Shinn realized Alex's blush and have a grin on their faces.
"Guys, this is Namine Laurent, my partner from Photograph club. Nam, you know my pals." Milly introduce her
"Just call me Nam or Namine" she added while shook Lacus's hand
Milly smiled at her before asked, "Nam, we were planning to go to Victoria beach tomorrow for a short holiday, so do you want to go with us?"
Like Alex, she wondered for a while before gave her answer. She spaced for a second and suddenly she took a stare at Alex. She blushed a bit and trying to hide it too just like him. After she thinks it's clear, she gave her answer, "I'll go"
"Then its settled! Tomorrow at Grand Station, 8 o'clock. Don't be late!" Luna shouted.
"What kind of stuff do we have to bring?" Cagalli questioned
"Simple. Some swimsuit, maybe sunglasses, and few private things." Lacus explained
Cagalli put a confused look, "swimsuit? Sunglass? I don't have any of them!" she shouted in desperation
Lacus thought about it for a second, "don't worry… if you want, we can go to shopping district later. My treat!" Lacus said out loud
Eyes of the other two girls went big, "what about us?!" they asked excitedly
Lacus shot them a glare, "of course… NOT!"
"WHY…!!??" they cried just like a child who cant get their toy
"it simple, Cagalli don't know anything about our 'culture' until she got some experience. Right? Besides, you guys have your own, haven't you?" Lacus said while staring at Cagalli, while she just nodded
"that's mean…" they cried again, in perfect unison.
Even not completely understand the condition, she knows that Lacus sided her with something, "serves you right!!" Cagalli shouted triumphantly.
Kira and the rest of the guys just can watched the 'Argument' between the girls. Or maybe I can say 'their' girls? (Author got a punch, kick, and being threw many things from the boys)
"here goes again, the arrogant one come… huh…" Kira sighed. But when he looked up to his friends, all of them were frightened while looking to Kira, or to be exact, his back. Kira realized this immediately and sweat dropped, "there is 'something' behind me, isn't it?"
Kira averted his gaze to his back, slowly… and found his 'cute' sister is looking to him with a smile and vein popped up on her cheek. "correct me if I wrong, but I heard you calling me an arrogant back here, right…?" and soon, the condition is changed into a 'sister-grab-her-brother's-collar-while-asking-a-damn-obvious-question-and-a-big-vein-popped-in-her-cheek-and on-top-of-that,-she's-smilling-innocently!'
Actually, if Kira use a bit violence now, he can win easily, but in this condition, lets see what'll happen if he really beat his sister, got a slap from Lacus, being beaten by Athrun, got a punishment from the school, gossiped by the girls all over the school, and when his sister health enough to launch a revenge, maybe she will beaten him up? Nope. Kill him? Absolutely, but she will do that after Kira hope that he was never be born. Or even worse… is what Kira can't endure.
"What are you talking about, Cagalli…? I… I'll never… OUGH…!!!" Kira winched in pain. And after Cagalli released her clutches, he curled in the floor like a worm. The rest of gang just can watch with horror.
Cagalli looked up to her so called friends, "did I do something wrong?" she asked innocently again. As to be expected from the great culprit.
'yes you do! You just threw you kick to your brother's 'important thing'!' all of them shouted in their mind
"so, lets get going!" Cagalli threw her arms playfully.
The rest were sweat dropped from knowing how innocent Cagalli can become. They just nodded and walked away from the school, with Kira still cant walked straight.
'I… won't have an heir…'
And that's what happened in the last day of their school. Well… it doesn't really matter anymore, except for Kira who still had a little grudge on his sister, for kicking him hard where the sun don't shine. Since they're already arrived, they walked to Lacus's villa straightway. Of course to unpacked their things. After a little walked from the beach, they arrived at Lacus's villa… okay, another great house of her family. You can call it whatever you want. After arrived, the rest of the gang can't hide their amazement of the… villa. It has a very elegant interior and furniture. The architect sure put some of his great work here. it still looks like a new house. The shiny tiles, the great paintings, and the European statues make the house extremely elegant in their eyes. After a quiet amazement sight seeing, Lacus direct them to their room. Because they didn't want to have a gap to each other, the boys will sleep in the same room, and so do the girls. Actually, there are two people who dumb enough to express their perverteness by propose that all of them –no exception- may sleep in the SAME room. Of course, they ended beaten up by a berserk Cagalli, an embarrassed Miriallia, and shy Luna.
After a beat party was over, the boys and girls went to a different direction, to their room. "you people really shouldn't talk again for your sake." Alex commented.
The bloody pulp, Dearka and Shinn (if its not them, whose else?) arching an eyebrow. "well… we'll carve that in our mind, Mr. Pure-Chaste-Holy man. But you remember this: we Love Challenge!" Dearka said while smile mischievously, followed by Shinn. The other who looked at them just can sweat dropped.
'do they ever learn anything?' they spoke to themselves.
"but, now with this 'dirty' plan revealed, what will you do? of course now they become more cautious." Kira said, trying to make them dispirited. For Lacus's sake too, of course. He couldn't let those pervert to trying to peek on Lacus, could he? 'Even in my heart, I couldn't help but hope I can join too…' soon after that, Kira blushed deeply. realized what he was just thinking, Kira shook his head, trying to make those dirty mind disappear.
"you still have a lot ways to go, Kira, to think that my plan to be such simple-minded like that. of course those whole thing 'beaten into pulp' are in my plan too… he he heh…" he laughed evilly.
'just for that you prepared to beaten into a bloody pulp? That's what I called simple minded…' Athrun said silently.
'Now I know why those girls seemed really upset when I approve this plan… so they're trying to protect their (I can't find any good words to described it.), eh?' Kira sweat dropped
Finally they reached their room. It was a huge one. They can see 6 beds, three on each side. And a big window that covered by a curtain which lead to balcony. Athrun opened the window and walked to the balcony. He can't said anything when he looked to the scenery that spread in front of his eyes. 'its… amazing…' he thought silently. He never went to the beach before, and of course he never saw the horizon from the sea. Moreover, the smooth sea breeze that blew Athrun's hair made he felt something that he never feels before. 'I wonder if I can get Cagalli here too…'
"enjoying yourself?" Shinn interrupted Athrun from his trance.
Athrun broke off his trance and looked to Shinn who walked to the same balcony. He leaned to the balcony fence after he saw Athrun nodded. "well… yeah. I've never been here before. So it feels… I don't know, great?"
Shinn chuckled after hear that, "well you see… you don't see everything yet…"
Athrun felt a bit enthusiastic, "there's more to see?"
"if I can add, more beautiful. And if you see it with someone special for you, it'll have more meaning on it." Shinn said.
Athrun who got interested on it, watch and hear carefully what'll Shinn said again
"…Just you wait until the sky goes red, and look to the west. It depends on you whether you want to see it from the shore, or from here."
Athrun smiled. He never thought that Shinn could possibly talk like that.
He wondered about it for a while. Really, he wants to share that moment to a girl he truly cared, but then an idea struck into his mind. 'if that'll really just like he said, maybe I'll give that to someone that truly need it.' He chuckled to himself. And then, he walked back to the door.
Athrun walked downstairs, he looked up to the clock and realized it's almost the time for it. The sun almost set. Its time to tell that person, he thought.
Athrun walked to the living room, he searched for his best friend. He looked every direction, but he couldn't find him. he was about to give up until he saw Lacus walked to Luna. She looked a bit upset.
"Luna, do you know where Kira is?" she asked.
Luna who still worked with her dish halt for a while, then looked to Lacus, "oh, Kira? I believe he's somewhere at the shoreline." She said.
Lacus looked a bit surprised, "what? At the beach? What is he doing when the sun almost set like this? He should've helped us a little!" then, she stormed off to the beach, maybe trying to catch on Kira.
Athrun smiled, he wondered if the fate really drawn them together? 'maybe I can take a look from the balcony. Sorry Kira. but I was really curious about the current you now, after you met her for the first time, what kind of change she turned you into?'
After a while, finally he arrived to the previous balcony when Shinn told him about the sunset.He searched Kira from there, and fortunately he can found him without any problem. He saw Kira, stood still at the beach. Just few inch before the water touched his feet. Even Athrun cannot saw him clearly, he can tell that Kira was wandering something. Its not Kira's habit to stood still without doing something like that. Kira wasn't selfish, and Athrun know that very clearly. And he would do anything he can to just help someone that truly needs it. But now, Kira's there. Athrun is so curious about what Kira is thinking right now. until he seems have no interest on anything. Just then, Lacus came to Athrun's sight. She walked rather hastily. But before she could catch him, she stopped dead on her track. Like suddenly she feel hesitated. He smiled slightly wondered what kind of proof that'll Lacus show to him?
With Kira
Just like Athrun's sight. Kira just stood there silently. He just stared to the horizon with the empty eyes. Many thoughts racing on his head. Most of it is his past memories. The scenery just made him remember with his bloody day, 3 years ago, at the Quon Field. He himself killed hundreds of the other village invasions. And the sight, is more or less the same as what he saw now.
'red pool, just like blood. And the orange sky… among that many, why here…?'
Kira emptied his mind over again. He doesn't want remember anything about it now. but no matter how hard he tried, the memories still keep repeating over and over. And the scene is become clearer every times it repeated.
"HAH! What's wrong with you guys?! Come here and take my head! I'm just a kid, don't you said so?! If not," Kira licked the blood that spilled on his sword viciously, and the dark violet of his eyes, just made him become more like some kind of Evil.
"…I'll kill you!" Kira charged towards a band of shinobi. They prepared to block Kira's attack, but when they got a sight of Kira's eyes, their body trembling greatly.
'are those eyes is really the eye of a kid?' was all they can thought, before Finally Kira sent them to their death by slashed them just like samurai cut a paper into two neatly slashed pieces.
After killed them, Kira laughed evilly. Just like a beast which after ate its prey. But after that, Kira realized that one of his prey still struggle to crawl out of his sight. Even he was badly wounded. Kira smirked and then walked towards that shinobi. The poor shinobi realized that Kira trying to catch on him. he keep struggle while scream in tremendous fear. While Kira still walked slowly to his lost prey. Enjoyed every second of his struggle, until finally the shinobi lost his stamina, and Kira stand in front of his head.
"p… please… spare my life… I… have no intention… to keep fight!" the shinobi said trembly.
Kira just stare at him. Then, he smirked once again, "…very well then, I shall spare you."
The shinobi didn't believe of what he heard. After he recall what Kira just said, he sighed in relief. "…really?"
"didn't you hear me?" Kira said coolly
"th… thank you very much, sir!"
Kira turned to walk away, "use that chance properly…"
The shinobi almost crying that he still lived. But somehow, he felt strange. And then, he found out, that Kira was slashed him many times, and the wounds opened simultaneously. He felt a blood made its way trail his face. "when you…" before he could finish his sentences, he fell.
"…in Hell"
Kira laughed evilly once again. He examined the battlefield. The battle was about to over. When he thought the show was over, he walked back to the village. But something caught his attention. A certain bluenette is battling with a shinobi that looked tough. Kira really wants to interfere them, but when he unsheathed his swords, their battle was over with bluenette is the winner. Kira sighed. And then walked approach him.
"…be on your way. I don't intent to kill the one who lost his intention to kill." The Shinobi was began to stand and run when Kira's sword landed on his shoulder with the blunt side. The shinobi could saw the tip of Kira's sword which covered with the thick blood.
"…Kira!" Athrun shouted. hope that Kira may release him.
"you're not thinking that I'll leave you alive here, don't you?" then, he slashed the shinobi to his death. He fell to the ground, watched by smirking Kira and shocked Athrun.
Athrun averted his gaze to his best friend, "Kira! what are you…"
"…unnecessary feeling on the battlefield will invite more chaos one day, don't you think so, My friend?" Kira was cut Athrun's word
Athrun couldn't believe his own hearing. Those cold words, were said by Kira, his friend that he known more than 6 years, his friends that he knew very kind and gentle, now turn into a heartless killer who can kill anybody freely. "no, you're wrong! You don't need to kill if unnecessary. That's what the Tenchu said himself! Don't you heard your own father's words?!"
Kira's eyes were burned in anger. He know his father would say something like that. but in fact, he never truly heard that. he knows his father just sweeten his mouth. "ah… that old man, huh? Do you think he'll really do that? avoid unnecessary kill like just you said? Never! I know what are you thinking right now, you wondered why me, your best friend turn into a vicious killer right?"
Athrun was speechless. He knew he was right. So he just wait for Kira's answer.
"…I'm looking for excitement."
Athrun's eyes widened in shocked. How can possibly he kill that many people just to look for excitement? "what are you…"
"don't you feel it too… Athrun? The excitement when you charged to your enemy, the melodious clash when your sword collided with the enemy's? and your blood feel like boiled when having a tough battle?"
Athrun didn't said anything.
"well… its obvious that you didn't feel it like I do. because its that man's fault!" Kira said referring his father
"his blood flow through my vein, his viciousness keep repeating in my mind, told me to kill more, more, and more! And you know? I can't hold it anymore! I've had enough of this! He KILLED MY MOTHER!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH, KIRA! if Cagalli ever heard what you said…"
Heard Athrun said Cagalli's name, he became furious and trying to stab Athrun on his eyes, in flash. And just before few centimeters Athrun ducked it.
Athrun knew Kira maybe has lost his mind. When he was about to said something, Kira cut him, "if you ever bring out Cagalli's name… I'll surely stick my sword to you, Zala!"
He didn't even dare to argue with him
"That's exactly why we're called Shiseiten, right?"
"Kira, maybe we can help…" Athrun was stopped by Kira sword on his neck
"DON'T you dare say that you want to help me or anything! Just watch quietly from the back of curtain. If you or somebody else get in my way… I'll cut you through!"
After that, Kira sheathed his swords and walked passed Athrun who still speechless. When he realized Kira was walked back to the village, he shouted his name.
"Kira, wait!"
he still didn't responded
"Kira!"
"Kira!"
Kira was brought back from his trance by a certain pink haired princess who swung her hand right in front of his face. When finally she realized that Kira was realized her presence, she stopped her hand and put on her worried expression. Kira just stared at her face with an uncertain expression.
Finally Kira let out his words, "do you…"
"I'm the one who should've asked, Kira."
He kept silent again. But now, he just stared to the tile of sand. He didn't bothered to look at her eyes again. He just thought that once again, he didn't deserve to serve such a pure princess like her. His bloody past that once again recalled to his mind, force him to thought so. But still, he didn't want to being parted away from her. From the first moment he saw her, it's just like he got again his missing part of his heart since his mother left him few years ago. His mother, who he loves so much, he could saw her kindness, her voice, and her words on Lacus. The one who stands before him right now.
Before he could thought further, he felt a warm hand touched his cold cheek, and made him to stared again at her. Her face is full of worry.
"Kira, are you feel troubled?"
Kira's eyes widened in shocked, he know that his master have a sharp intuition, but to think that she will realized his feeling right now, that usually he hide deep down on his heart. He never thought such a thing. Because from the first place, a shinobi like him doesn't deserve to have such a heart. That's what his father taught him many times.
"why… why do you thought so?" he said plastered a fake smiled and few false chuckle.
Lacus straightened her gaze to his'. "…you'll always smile and laughed nervously like that if you were lying. You are a bad liar, Kira Yamato."
Kira know it'll be turned out like this. He never can lie to Lacus.
Lacus got sense she was right. Now she's the one who got a chance to help him, no matter what. "…Now tell me. What is it?"
Kira kept his head down, avoided her gaze, "I glad you cared about me, Lacus. But I-I don't think like saying it right now, so…"
Lacus felt a deep disappointed feeling. But she know it'll wouldn't do any good if she just force him to say anything about it if he himself didn't want to. She just sighed. "…fine then. but if you want to share your problem or anything, promise me you'll let me know first, ok?" she trying to make as cheerful as usual.
Kira smiled and nodded. Her voice always make his trouble went disappeared from his mind. When he looked up to face her, he saw the red pool of death that he saw before change into a field of golden light that made him spellbound by its warm shine. "the sun… is set." He said slowly
Lacus turned back to see what Kira saw. And right, the sun I is set. Let out a warm light and a gorgeous color of gold.
"…isn't it beautiful?" Lacus finally said
Kira turned his gaze, watching her.
Lacus just watching the sunset, with an invisible amazement of it. "…I always like the sunset from here. and I wish… I could stare it forever"
'…huh? What does she mean?' Kira spoke to himself.
'its just like… she'll going to leave us…'
"Kira?" Lacus' voice once again interrupted Kira's thought.
"Aah…"
Lacus seemed a bit hesitated about something. Kira even can't think that she can be hesitated like this.
"Kira… can you promise me one thing…?" Lacus asked suddenly
Kira looked back at her, his face is full of uncertainty. "…what could it be?"
"Promise me… that you will never leave me. Its all that I'll ask you for."
Kira just stare at her. And when he recalled of what she just said, he immediately knell down and looked down to the sand of beach in front of her.
"that's exactly why I'm here, Hime. To protect you. and that's why I would never left you behind. That is, my oath to you."
Kira call her with 'Hime' again. But even Kira didn't really know why he said that. Lacus has told him many times to call her with just her name. but now, he presume that he must call it by her status by now.
"…is that so…?" she said in hollow tone
Kira shut his eyes. He heard her footsteps came closer, and stopped just inch in front of his gaze. She still stood still. Kira was looked down, so he can't see her face.
"how many times I must repeat again for you to understand…?"
Her tone was fragile, its almost she can let her tears fall in any seconds now. and that was made Kira's heat skipped fast. He can't take the shame of making his very own master crying because of him. but even so, what has he done to make her almost cry?
When he just thought nothing except it, he felt something tugged him from his front side. And made him fell on his butt to the sand. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lacus there, in front of him smiled brightly. Just when he wanted to asked what is happening here, he saw Lacus pointed to his back. He looked back, and saw a huge wave come closer and suddenly hit him, made Kira washed his clothes in the beach.
"Burp! Lacus… what the…?"
Between the sound of wave, he can heard Lacus' laughter
"I got you…!"
She still laughed at him even after she knows Kira was defeated. His face now full of embarrassment and shame. But behind that laugh, he knew she had something that made her laugh like somewhat crazy, but forceful.
'…keep your promise…'
"Hmm…? Did you say something… Lacus?" Kira asked. He indeed felt like she said something under her breath.
Lacus didn't say anything. She just has her back for Kira. Kira can't help to felt bad for him to say something wrong again. 'Damn this sharp hearing!' he cursed to himself. For the first time in his life, he cursed himself, and he meant it.
Suddenly, Lacus ran back to the villa, left Kira there who still puzzled with her act. Still running, she shouted back at Kira, "if you still want to sit there, its okay, but you won't get dinner!"
"Hey, that's mean!" he immediately stood and follow her back.
With Athrun
When Kira and Lacus enjoyed their sightseeing on the beach, they never guess that someone, whose no other than their own best friend, Athrun Zala watching them carefully from his spot. Sometimes, when he knew they up to something, he frowned an eyebrow or laughed a little. He just stood there watching and do nothing. Even that is to tell his 'lover?' the ever so sweet Cagalli Yula. But that's all make him even more curious about what happened to Kira 'who never disobeyed the rule even it's a slightest bit on his life (at least he know this much)' Yamato until he can just move straightforward like that?
Finally the answer came via a certain wide-mouthed blonde
"ZALA!"
PLETOK!
"Itai! Who the hell… hi, Cagalli… do you need something?" he said. Well… anybody can't have a proper vocabury if they just got a hard knock with a frying pan on their head, can they? That's what happened to him. poor Athrun… if I can say so myself
Cagalli, who wore a yellow apron above her outfit and her frying spoon still on her grasp get pissed off. "Yes I do! get your sorry ass downstairs and help us with the kitchen!" she shouted. Athrun sighed. He closed the balcony's window and walked straight to the door. That's what he wanted to do, before Cagalli sense something fishy from his attitude.
"Wait!" she commanded. Athrun stopped dead on his track and hope that she won't realized Kira and Lacus scene below them. 'if she knows about them, who knows what will she do to her…' Athrun knew how much Cagalli loves her brother. And nothing can separate both of them apart, even its Athrun.
"Yes, ma'am?" he ask back
Cagalli looked to the balcony, where Athrun watched the entire Kira and Lacus' scenery. And finally she came into the conclusions.
"What are you looking down there? There must be something very interesting until you can't hear me shouted your name." she walked to the balcony before Athrun could shut it. Knew he couldn't make it in time, he trying his hard to distract her to the kitchen or something else. But well… Cagalli isn't type of person that can be easily manipulated by something like that. even its true that she's a bit… low-minded?
"Why are you trammeling me like that? Just get out of my way or I'll do some scary things to you, Zala!"
"Like last name basis?" he was taken back
"One of those is that. Now you want to move or what? Don't make me send this frying spoon to your head!" Cagalli pointed her frying spoon to him. Athrun raised his hands for defense. He can't do anything if it was turned out like this.
"Chill out, Cagalli! Its not something that'll got your interest." Oh well… Athrun knew he just dig his own grave.
"Oh… is that so? I want to know what makes you can say something like that…" she just pushed him more than ever. 'here it is… its over now. Kira… I'm sorry! Please have a mercy upon me…' Athrun said to himself
Cagalli entered the balcony and found the Kira and Lacus's dramatic scene. Even though she cannot hear what they said, she can read the lip's movement, and know all of the words they've said. Athrun closed his eyes, scared of what may come if Cagalli feel jealous of Lacus from trying to steal his brother from her.
"finally they talking about that… sure Kira take it too long, doesn't he?" Cagalli said happily
"eh?" Athrun opened his eyes slowly. He saw Cagalli saw Kira and Lacus with the glad mimic across her face.
"Cagalli… you… aren't mad…?" asked Athrun. Cagalli looked at him with the puzzled expression
"why must I mad? Kira and Lacus looked very cute together, don't you think?" she said. The puzzled Athrun walked into the balcony and saw Kira and Lacus again with Cagalli
The two shinobi watched their village heir with a smile on their face, especially Cagalli.
"…I always think… that actually Kira didn't fit to be one of us. To walk on the path of shinobi. Our harsh lives force him to do what he must to do. He did deserve love from whom he cared for." Cagalli said sternly. Athrun watched her with a sad smile on his face. Now he know why she seemed so happy when she knows Kira and Lacus has something to each other.
"I see… you're right. And now he has Lacus on his side. I'll think he's happy now." Athrun said while walked back to the door. And Cagalli followed him to downstairs, the kitchen to be exact. And prepared the grill for barbeque tonight.
Beach, Barbeque site near the Villa
"when it'll be done?!" Dearka shouted excitedly. The gang were having a barbeque party that night. They grilled the BBQ right on the sand of beach. Perfect places for it if you ask me, even I haven't do it yet. The girls attending the cooking and grilling, when the boys readies the equipment preparation and fire. All of them were enjoying themselves, even Kira and Lacus who having a hard time to mind their personal feeling to each other can laugh and joked happily with the others.
"can you please shut up?! you've said that over 5 times in 3 minutes for God's sake!" Yzak shouted desperately.
"oh yeah? And since when you counted it? Are you really doing that useless thing?" Dearka countered. Yzak was taken aback by his words, while the others chuckled lightly.
"ah… the meat is ready!" for a countless times, Lacus had saved the day. The gang was really enjoyed the time. Well at least that is what they want to believe.
After a while, they finished their BBQ time, with a few battle between Cagalli and Shinn to take the biggest piece of meat they found. After that, Luna and Milly back to the villa to took few firecrackers to the site and matchsticks and made a little fireworks festival.
They really have fun back then. except the fact that Kira and Athrun have a hard time to hold themselves to not to give a lot of water to the firecrackers because they thought it was a Genjutsu from the enemy. A piece of information, Athrun almost got killed when he was on mission with Kira after he saw a firefly that was a enemy's technique to flam them. You got what I mean, right? To me, firefly is similar to firecracker's light.
"hey, we're almost run out of firecrackers! Somebody get in the villa!" Shinn shouted when he saw the firecrackers' ammunition
Cagalli took a hint in this piece of chance to got Athrun back to his braveness. "hey, you freaking blue haired! Go get some like Shinn says! And beat that piece of firefly phobia out of your mind!"
Athrun was pushed over by Cagalli and walked lazily to the villa. He sighed at the blonde's behavior. 'but that's the way she is' he thought.
When he finally reached the villa's back door, he saw Alex walked to his direction. Athrun wondered why he doesn't join them. "hey Alex, why don't you…"
DEGG!!!
"I'll pass" Alex said while he walked passed Athrun.
When he finally walked a bit further from Athrun, Athrun fell to his knee, sweating a lot like he was going to die.
'what the hell… what kind of pressure it is…? From Alex? It can't be…'
Northern Cliff
Alex walked to the north clifffrom villa. He walked in to the small cave and stopped, like he realized hat he wasn't alone. "just get out already, Axel. Since when do you like hide and seek?"
A certain red haired Organization XIII came out from the shadow behind Alex. He smiled and sighed deeply, "what kind of behavior is that? And here I thought you're going to betray us. You looked like enjoying yourself back there, Roxas."
Alex put his cynical mimic to Axel, "what do you mean? What for I came here and socialized with them if not for the Organization?"
Axel nodded. "yeah, I know. By the way, Dem'ix and Raww have moved. You must act quickly now."
"I know. I've prepared all. Just you see… tomorrow you'll se the despair and blood from the Protector." Alex said without looking at Axel at all
"and one thing… tell Dem'ix that I won't take his order!"
